re: The ATL Thread: Offseason Edition(Posted by glb on 1/18/13 at 11:31 am to hiltacular)

This tidbit was in the article I just linked as well. I wasn't aware of it.

quote:This is where the new TV deals with ESPN and FOX come in. While the regional Braves deal won’t be much help, the new league-wide deals should add $20-25M (over the past deals) in each team revenues starting in 2014, but how much can or will go into the team payroll is unknown.

I don't think this will help the Braves, it will just bump everyone's payroll and continue the overpaying of certain players. Basically, the league average payroll will increase thus doing nothing for the Braves.
